feeling and earnestness on the sue
| ject of the little ones who are even
now Frustrated by the dire effects
of this poisoned water.
DR.. Bergstein testified that he
had made careful study of the
question of sawdust in the river,
and he unhesitatingly gave it as his
opinion that the epidemic of ty-
! phus-malarial fever which prevail
| ed last season was due entirely to
the fact that the city's water sup
rly was poisoned by this sawdust.
He had been called to attend cases
| at Bishop Whitaker's school at a
time when there were more than a
dozen patients suffering from the
disease mentioned by him. He
had maze a most thorough examin-
alton of the premises, and had
found their hygienic condition alb
solutely perfect. The school was
situated on an elevation, and the
drainage was everyt thing that could
be desired. In view of these facts
he was forced to the conclusion
that the disease could be traced
solely to the use of sawdust-poi-
soned water from the Truckee
river. One thing that confirmed
him in this position was that in
other portions of the city where
water from the river was used, the
fever ragged, while poor people
who were unable to have any water
except that which they got from
the wells, escaped its effects alto
gether. This was true, though or
dinarily the poorer classes would |
be more liable to the disease than
those who were better off. /
Doctors Dawson, Bishop and
Lewis emphatlcally Endorsed every
thing said by DR.. Bergstein, and
answered the shrewd questions Of
the California Committeeman to
their evident satisfaction. I
Genersl Powning addressed the
Committee from the standpoint of
/ citizen Interested Ia the welfare
Of the State, and particularly in
.erested in the healthful condition
IF the city In which he resided.
Attorney General Alexander be-
ug called upon, made a profound
exposition of the legal principles
involved, and stated that though
'ur people believed they had good
.ause for action, and though they
could compel a recogni-
ion of their rights by appealing to
he courts, yet they preferred to
SIX of California this act of simple
ustlce-that the waters of the
fruckee river be permitted to flow
,ure as they came from the SHOWS of
heaven, uncontaminated by saw
lust or any other deleterious sub
lance unlawfully deposited there
n by the people of California.
During the examination it was
lsserted that the dam at Verdi
n this State is arranged So that
ish from Pyramid Lake cannot
get above it. Just here we beg
cave to call attention to Fish
commissioner Cary's report,
wherein he asserts that such
tatement is incorrect.
